Welcome me back to the Blogosphere.
I know, so everyone who once came to my site has left and won't see this post until I show that I am back for good. Well, I have a lot to talk about so be prepared. It is dangerous territory I have let myself fall into, but let me crawl my way out.
In the past 2 months things have changed. I am an LA-expat residing in New York still participating in my intern for the Men's Outerwear division of Polo Ralph Lauren. I have had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Yamaguchi of The Last Scout, Mr. Passarella of A Fresh Take NYC, Mr. Rojas of Archetype Showroom, Mr. Osborne of Public School, and Mr. Ciongoli of 13th & Wolf. And have been in the presence of Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Bastian and many others. These are things that LA, as much as I love it there, just does not have to offer you.
I have been fortunate enough to attend many events the most recent being the Gant 60th Anniversary launch party and exhibit and an event at the NY flagship of Billy Reid. But the best part about NY are thrifting and visiting all the old stores which I have planned to talk all about in future posts. For everyone still out there thanks for holding on and for everyone else, I hope to see you back. Enjoy the rainy weekend East coast and Enjoy the nice weather West coast.

Remembering | Memorial Day
In the 40's both my grandfather were in the South Pacific fighting in WWII. My Grandfather was in Kyoto, Japan whereas by Opa was in Indonesia. Neither of them were unfortunate enough to have their "life taken" as Andy Rooney would say.
After the jump are pictures of my grandfathers from the war. I'm sure they have phenomenal stories unfortunately my Grandfather died when I was very young and my Opa speaks not a lick of English and I speak no Dutch. So, hopefully one day I will get some information somehow. I already have my grandfathers army issued ring but the stories are worth more than that.
